mcp.film / The Stack
The AI Film Stack
An opinionated walk through the pipeline: what your agent connects at each stage of making a film, from blank page to published cut. (machine version: /stack.md)
The five-connection starter kit
If you connect nothing else, connect these. One studio, one model hub, one voice, one edit bay, one distribution pipe — a complete film pipeline in five MCP servers.
The film set for AI videos — direct entire productions from your agent.
One hosted endpoint to search, run and chain 1,000+ image, video and audio models.
Official ElevenLabs server: TTS, voice cloning, SFX, music, and dialogue isolation.
Full AI control of DaVinci Resolve Studio — edit, grade, Fusion, and render via scripting.
Automate your whole YouTube channel — including real video uploads — via OAuth.
